Utah Softball Stopped by UVU, 5-2
4/2/2019 9:09 PM | Softball
SALT LAKE CITY – On a rainy evening at Dumke Family Softball Stadium, Utah dropped a 5-2 result to Utah Valley.
Â
The home team had a great chance to set the tone when Alyssa Barrera singled between walks from Julia Noskin and Makayla Hurst to load the bases. Unfortunately, UVU's Devyn Cretz capped the inning by striking out the side to keep the game scoreless.
Â
The Utes broke through in the third as Barrera singled with two outs and Hurst drove her in with a single to right. Utah's junior center fielder was off with the crack of the bat and able to beat the throw home.
Â
After skating through the first three innings, Sydney Sandez ran into trouble in the fourth. Utah Valley answered Utah's run as a pair of singles resulted in Linnah Rebolledo knocking one to center to tie the game, 1-1.
Â
Ellessa Bonstrom doubled to begin the bottom half and Barrera singled again to put runners on the corners. UVU tried to pick Bonstrom off third base while Barrera stole second and the throw was off the mark, allowing Utah to regain the lead, 2-1. After Barrera moved to third on the error, Utah had a chance to extend its lead, but three consecutive pop ups ended the threat. In fact, Utah left 10 runners on base during the contest.
Â
For the second time, the Wolverines quickly responded. Skylar Cook doubled to start the sixth and Lyndsay Steverson smashed a two-run homer for a 3-2 UVU lead.
Â
After Utah left two more runners on base in their half of the sixth, UVU put the game away with a pair in the seventh. Jordan Freas walked before Madison Sisco and Peyton Prigge doubled in back-to-back AB's to make the score, 5-2.
Â
The Utes host No. 5 Arizona for a three-game Pac-12 series this weekend. The Utes and 'Cats open up on Flash Back Friday at 6 p.m.
